[S] Numbers 35:27 --
27 and the blood avenger finds him outside the border of his city of refuge, and the blood avenger kills the manslayer, he will not be guilty of blood 28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return to the land of his possession.
[O] This chapter addresses manslaughter cases and for those those premeditated murderers are subject to be avenged by the blood avenger so in order to avoid that they can take refuge in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest when he can return to where he was before. We have murdered Jesus and the blood avenger, His Father will wipe us clean. However, we can take refuge by trying to follow His Law but that's not a permanent place to be for everyone so the Father sent us the High Priest who came to die in order to provide us the freedom to be back in the original relationship with God without being avenged for murdering His Son.
[A] Grateful for Jesus' dying to provide the permanent refuge for me to be in right and wholesome relationship with God once again. Without this, my life would be very short-sighted and temporal instead of planning for the eternal life I'll be living.
[P] Dear Father, I'm so grateful for Your sending Jesus to provide that permanent refuge for me as one of the descendants who murdered Your Son. May I enjoy that life here on earth. Please provide wisdom to shun non-essential burdens of this world which are about to snatch away that joy in me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
